of Canada’s Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation tribe, he was asked to represent a community battered by global warming. The permafrost underlying his hometown of Old Crow was thawing and the caribou and salmon populations that his people rely on for sustenance were in decline. The next year, heto take his remote community of 250—dependent on imported diesel for electricity generation—carbon-neutral by 2030.
Then he oversaw the installation of one of the largest solar projects in the Arctic, supplying a quarter of Old Crow’s electricity anddiesel consumption by about 53,000 gal. a year. Now he is planning wind towers and a biomass plant to provide electricity through the dark Arctic winters. Other First Nation communities are taking note, he says—and so should everyone else.
